We are to be partakers of HIS Divine Nature!

Do you believe we are manifested Sons and Daughters of GOD?

It is written by The Beloved Disciple in John chapter 1:

12 But those who embraced Him (Jesus, the True Light) and took hold of His Name He gave authority to become the children (Sons and Daughters) of God!

Once we received Christ, what should be our highest priority?  To mature in Christ and walk in His authority, to become Christlike.  You and I determine our own progress toward becoming mature in Christ.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Peter chapter 1:

2 Grace (enablement) and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus Our Lord,

3 as His Divine power has given to us all things that pertain to Life and Godliness, through the knowledge of Him Who called us by glory and virtue,

4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Lust leads to corruption.  Promises lead to Divine Nature.  The Promised Land in the Old Testament was an inheritance of geography.  Now, we are given promises of transformational miracles such as jobs, healings, and abundance in all areas affecting our lives through which we are partakers of HIS Divine Nature.  We access Heaven’s resources to bring forth fruitfulness on the earth.

When you experience fulfillment of a promise, it’s never just GOD doing something for you, HE’S also doing something in you.  In Acts chapter 3, the lame man gets healed through Peter’s words and actions.  He’s walking (physically healed), he’s leaping (emotionally healed), he’s praising GOD (spiritually healed).  His understanding of Who GOD is has ascended to a higher level.  The promise, the fulfillment was a miracle, but the lame man was healed and transformed emotionally and spiritually.  Peter wrote about what he had experienced firsthand.  The lame man became a partaker of Divine Nature.

As we manifest Heaven on earth, we ascend to a higher level of being a partaker in HIS Divine Nature.  The fulfillment of promise gives us access to live at a level in grace that we did not have before the miracle. 

When we experience or see a miracle before us, our faith is positively affected.  Any unbelief within us dissipates. Our boldness increases.  We are now ready for the next miracle to manifest.  You start thinking differently, there is nobody outside GOD’S Intent to experience HIM.  There is nobody outside HIS reach.  The lame man had been crippled from birth and was without hope.  Suddenly, his life was full of hope.

We are to be agents of change on behalf of The Kingdom.  How are we to do this?  Peter continues:

5 So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness, and to goodness add understanding,

6 and to understanding add the strength of self-control, and to self-control add patient endurance, and to patient endurance add Godliness,

7 and to Godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters, and to mercy toward others add unending Love.

8 Since these virtues are already planted deep within, and you possess them in abundant supply, they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately.

Peter provides us the path to fruitfulness.  Those who do not devote themselves to maturing in Christ, are said to be blind:

9 But if anyone lacks these things, he is blind, constantly closing his eyes to the mysteries of our faith, and forgetting his innocence—for his past sins have been washed away.

10 For this reason, Beloved ones, be eager to confirm and validate that God has invited you to salvation and claimed you as his own. If you do these things, you will never stumble.

As we mature in Christ:

11 As a result, the Kingdom’s Gates will open wide to you as God choreographs your triumphant entrance into the Eternal Kingdom of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.

When the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation comes on you to know about Him, it creates in you a capacity for fruitfulness that you didn’t have otherwise.  The knowledge of His Nature creates in you an ability of fruitfulness that you didn’t have otherwise.

HIS Promises take us to manifesting His Divine Nature!

We are here to make a difference!

Jesus gave us the right and expectation to bring forth Heaven to earth.  He was the One Who expressed FATHER’S Divine Intent when He gave the disciples The Lord’s Prayer:

The Kingdom come Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 15:

7 But if you live in life-union with Me and if My Words live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done.

Many Christians don’t want to touch this verse.  They simply want to escape from this earth without doing what Jesus commanded.  Isn’t this a case of selective acceptance of Scripture, especially the Words of Our Lord Jesus Christ?

My role as a co-laborer is to pray and have results happen.  Jesus continued:

8 When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are My mature disciples who glorify My Father!

Jesus expects us to be fruitful on behalf of The Kingdom.  Those who do nothing will receive their just reward… nothing.  We need to consider what or who we can impact each day, no matter how great or small.

Jesus emphasized this Truth in Matthew chapter 16:

27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

And in Revelation chapter 22:

12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

Remember, it isn’t how you start, it’s how you finish!  There is still time to be fruitful and walk in His commandments.

GOD spoke the worlds into being by Words from HIS Voice.  What world are you creating through your voice?  If I constantly speak negative words, they will undermine my prayers.  We need to guard our words from nullifying our prayers.

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in James chapter 5:

15 And the prayer of faith will heal the sick and the Lord will raise them up, and if they have committed sins they will be forgiven.

If someone does not get healed after you have commanded sickness or disease to depart, don’t be deterred.  Don’t be disappointed or discouraged.  Continue to trust in GOD’S Word and don’t allow unbelief to enter in.  Continue to immerse yourself in the Word concerning healing.  When you prayed, you did your job, don’t quit. 

Heavenly encounters release our instinctive awareness of what we have the authority to release.  Yes, we do have the authority to release healing and restoration to those who have such a need.

Of all the Epistles that Paul wrote, only the church at Ephesus had no words of correction.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

17 I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of Wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know Him through your deepening intimacy with Him.

18 I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of His calling—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that He finds in us, His Holy ones!

19 I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power.

Have we become an effective advertisement of His immense power?

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Peter chapter 1:

2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus Our Lord,

3 as His Divine power has given to us all things that pertain to Life and Godliness, through the knowledge of Him Who called us by glory and virtue,

Notice that we have been given, not will be given all things.  This is because of what we know about Him, i.e., through the knowledge of Him.  GOD wants us to use our brain to discover HIM.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 77:

6 Then I remembered the worship songs I used to sing in the night seasons, and my heart began to fill again with thoughts of You. So my spirit went out once more in search of You.

As we meditate on the Scriptures, we will embrace all things that pertain to Life and Godliness.  This empowers us to be fruitful in every good work including praying and commanding healing to come forth.

We are to walk in the authority of Jesus Christ!

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 16:

15 Jesus said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.”

17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in Heaven.

18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church (ekklesia), and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

The gates of Hades represent authorities and powers.  We are to be on the offensive against those gates.  When Jesus said, “shall not prevail”, the is a promise you can count on.  The authority that Christ has put in you is His authority.

His Word through your mouth is as powerful as His Word through His!

The power is in the Source and the Source is Jesus and He only said what THE FATHER is saying.

19 I will give you the keys of Heaven’s Kingdom realm to forbid on earth that which is forbidden in Heaven, and to release on earth that which is released in Heaven.”

Heaven is the model for us to follow when binding and loosing.  There is no sickness or lack in Heaven.  That should be the basis by which we bind and loose in the power and authority of Jesus Christ.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 1:

1 The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

2 until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,

3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

Why did Jesus find it necessary to spend 40 days teaching on the things pertaining to the Kingdom of GOD?  His death and resurrection provide us with a new relationship versus Old Testament Law.  The disciples changed from walking in fear to that of walking in boldness.  Jesus taught them of the power and authority of His Name to be used in confronting the adversary.  He also prepared them for the Baptism of The Holy Spirit of power being in them.  This would enable them to be witnesses to the end of the earth.

The one with an ascended lifestyle knows what is in Heaven that has no earthly parallel, thus he knows what to bind and what to loose.

The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 4:

1 Then suddenly, after I wrote down these messages, I saw a portal open into the Heavenly realm, and the same trumpet-voice I heard speaking with me at the beginning said, “Ascend into this realm! I want to reveal to you what must happen after this.”

We also have the ability to ascend to the Heavenly realm to see and hear.  As we worship The Lord with no distractions, we set ourselves up to ascend.  Your ascended lifestyle is not leaving the ground; it is more and more being wrapped up in the Spirit of GOD with what HE is saying and doing.

Back in the 1970s-80s, the phrase “You are so Heavenly-minded, you’re no earthly good” discouraged us from focusing on being Heavenly-minded.  We should be saying “You’re Heavenly-minded, now you will be earthly-good and are able to provide something that the planet desperately needs.”

We know what to bind because we know that the adversary comes to kill, steal, and destroy.  So, what do we loose?  We pray to FATHER to reveal what to loose in a given, unique situation.  If you bind the spirit of deception, we are to ask THE LORD what that particular person needs to open his or her eyes that will address the deception.  Since we have the authority of Jesus Christ, we can loose whatever is needed to replace what we bound.

How many people can pass a Bible quiz but can’t demonstrate the Kingdom?

We are supposed to be able to reveal GOD to others through demonstration.  Our lives should be a testimony of what GOD has done in our lives.  As we partake in Jesus’ Divine nature, we become more like Him and take on His attributes and nature.

Whatever we plant, we harvest!  This is both a natural law and a Spiritual Law.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 15:

7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

Each of us must do a critical assessment of our harvest.  Our harvest reveals how we live and who we represent to others.

Jesus continues in John chapter 15:

11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

12 This is My commandment, that you Love one another as I have Loved you.

13 Greater Love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. [16] You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

17 These things I command you, that you Love one another.

We are now friends who serve mankind.  The Great Commission is all about serving those in need and bringing those in bondage to salvation in Christ… setting the captives free.

Understanding is always to lead us into experience.  We are called to be active in establishing The Kingdom of GOD on the earth rather than the escapist mentality of being raptured away out of the world’s chaos.

As Jesus said in Matthew chapter 6:

10 Your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

Jesus is not interested in just building a good theology in us.  There are many people who study the Bible day and night, yet they produce no fruit for the Kingdom.  In other words, they can’t demonstrate the Kingdom.  We are supposed to reveal Jesus Christ to others.  It’s not about our gifting, anointing, or some other supposed prerequisite.  It’s all about planting good seed in others.

Jesus wants us to walk Heavenly-minded rather than earthly-minded.  The more Heavenly minded we become, the better we can demonstrate the Kingdom of GOD.  The Holy Spirit wants to lead us into all Truth that comes from Heaven.

Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus in John chapter 3:

11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.

12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you Heavenly things?

13 No one has ascended to Heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in Heaven.

Jesus reveals a mystery.  While He was on earth ministering, Jesus was also in Heaven in the Spirit realm.  Being in two places at the same time is also a privilege given to every believer.  We are at the same time seated with Christ in the Heavenly realm, but also living our life on earth to please Him.  This is what it means to live in Christ.  Only those who are seated in the Heavenly realm will understand Spiritual Truths

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:

4 But God, Who is rich in mercy, because of His great Love with which He Loved us,

5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 3:

1 Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority!

2 Yes, feast on all the treasures of the Heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with Heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.

3 Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ.

4 And as Christ Himself is seen for Who He really is, who you really are will also be revealed, for you are now One with Him in His glory!

5 Live as one who has died to every form of sexual sin and impurity. Live as one who has died to the desires for forbidden things, including the desire for wealth, which is the essence of idol worship.

Jesus qualified us to be co-seated with Him in Heaven.  This enables us to fill our thoughts with Heavenly realities resulting in us demonstrating His Divine Intent and fulfilling the Great Commission.
